Cards 4 Kids Challenge

I am offering you all a challenge that only you can help fulfill. I would like to have 1000 Valentine's Day cards for the children at Children's Hospital of Michigan. Yep, you read it correctly I did say 1000. There are 238 beds at the hospital and I would like to provide the kids with more then just one card. I would and so would the staff, like to get enough cards so the kids can exchange them, send them out to friends at school, or home to their parents and or siblings.

These can be cards with envelopes or just a post card style card. You don't sign the card as the kids and staff will be using them to make the kids have the best Valentine's Day ever. So if you want to get on the wagon and get those fingers inky I would love to have your help. I know we can and will do this and as an added incentive I will offer up some candy. Can't take a picture of it as I haven't bought it yet but it will be good. Sooooo.....are you in?? You can send me your intent to help atmrsmiley6@aol.com and I will give you my address or if you leave a reply that I can answer at a blog sight then we are good to go. I know that you are all wonderful people so I don't think this appeal will be defeated. Thanks in advance and watch out for my blog candy posting. Pat

EDITED TO ADD: When some of the gals heard about my challenge, they decided to offer up blog candy to sweeten the deal! The lovely Jennifer Buck will have some fun treats at her space as will my DD Julie over at Out To Impress! So check them out!

Glad to help, Pat! What a blessing to many young warriors in the fight of their dear lives! I'll speak to my local stampin' gals. More on #s as they answer; for now know that there will be at least fifty from north of Billings on the Musselshell River. Keep Looking Up!

Pat...just emailed you with my commitment to help with this project. Love the idea of those kids getting Valentines. I'll be checking with the childrens' hospital close to me to see if there is a need/opportunity for something like this in our community. Thanks for the inspiration!

Pat what a great thing to do for the kids at the Childrens Hospital! A friend of mine son was there not too long ago, and they are such wonderful people there. Please count me in and send me your mailing address please! my email address is Yogi25j@wowway.com

Pat, thanks for getting back to me so quickly with the mailing address. My three cards (perhaps more if I get to it tonight) will be in the mail tomorrow. I posted them on my blog and on SCS. Gotta spread the word, right?!?!? Anyway, here is the SCS link to my cards:

Count me in! I'll send you an email since I don't have a blog, but I can't believe I followed your link from a blog in Hawaii that led me back to Michigan, where I've lived all my life. What a small world, eh?
